Don't worry, I was just joking. I know you guys wouldn't do something like that. Its nice that you gave us a choice for the LE, the one that won looks ace. But its not the LE cover thats the problem here, but the RE cover could of been better. But it doesn't really matter that much, it not like something that you'll look at for more then a couple of mins anywaysjstevenson said:

WTF happened?
I am buying it anyway.
This was already discussed in the old thread, apparently they wanted a change in direction with the cover, I know there's quite a few people on here that are not that enamoured with standard cover art, personally I'm not a great fan of it myself but I'll be getting the CE anyway, but I do think it's a 'safe' vibrant cover that explains exactly what the game is about and will appeal to the average (non-forumite/geek) gamer, the type of gamer that chooses games based on cover art and synopsis alone, the gamer that are going to earn Insomniac a wad of £$£$, RFoM was a fantastic game but it hit more of a niche market, you can see with R2 they are going all out on PR on this one aiming it towards as broad an audience as possible, it makes good business sense, if your really into the game and you feel that strongly about it then they've provided what looks like to be an excellent CE of the game aimed more towards the hardcore fanbase.

Some corporate asshole came on forced Insomaniac to do this, right?
Or a 9 year old son of some big fish made a sketch that just had to be the cover, huh?
You are too soft for them.
Usually I don't care about covers, but great game deserve great cover. First impression and all that.
This is bad, this is close to something Midas would do.
Oh and people don't mix "cover bitching" with "game bitching", ok?
I loved R1 and I'm pretty sure I love R2. What am I speculating for? I've fallen in love in it as soon as I saw Magnum revolver :lol.
hi there guys I just got home from my summer nightmare (car accident) and I've just seen I got invited in late August into the private beta test for R2, unfortunately I never visited the official PlayStation forums before (I just post here you know) so it seems I can't get into the private forums and get the beta to download and all, any help will be much appreciated, thanks in advance and saludos and holas to all my friends here.

daegan said:The R2 video was DAMN inducing and involved a lot of Ted Price almost dying XD (hey Insomniac guys, and any other devs who had their people out there, know that a lot of us really really REALLY appreciate you guys coming out. thank you so much
thuway said:
thuway: sorry, i typed that crazy. like "damn!" inducing, it induces one to say damn.
very different pace as compared to standard Resistance. the level occurs in a bog-ish forest with lots of jumping out, cloaked enemies, as opposed to wave after wave after wave. the up-close AI (i forget the word Price used) is a really cool concept when lent to an enemy like these. pretty freaky stuff. everything blows up really nice and it's up there with the best looking stuff so far but I wouldn't put it head and shoulders above anything. i haven't been following r2 closely so i don't know if the weapons were new or anything.
thuway said:
I'd compare it to a CoD4 or 5. Looks less plastic-y than GoW; the lighting looks more organic to me as well. (keep in mind tho i PLAYED GoW2 and just WATCHED R2) not necessarily BETTER, but I liked it visually more.

I like the CE cover a lot more, too. But come on guys, do you play the game or play the cover? All of my cases get stacked into a hidden drawer under the TV only to see the light of day when discs are changing, do you guys mount them on your walls or something?

:lol :lol I bet this has you guys laughing/screaming like crazy at some of the posts here. But anyway, I will be getting the CE, but I really don't get the hate over the covers. The people here are apparently the gamers that care tons about how original the art is and will look at it for years to come. The other 99% of your purchasing audience will hear that it's a great game and look at the cover and think it looks pretty cool, and pick it up.
End of story.
The box is fricken important to me.ScrabbleBanshee said:
I bought the disced version of Warhawk over the downloadable one, because I wanted the box.
I'm ridiculously picky about having things look presentable, organized and nice.
and it makes a big difference when I'm paying $50+ for something. I want it to look good.
Print out one of the alternate covers then. Why do people keep arguing over this? The only ones that really care are the ones that would be willing to take to time to print out another cover anyway. You know we're on a drought for info when the box art becomes the only point of debate.The Jer said:

BTW when are we gonna get some new screens? It's time to get this hype train in full effect! November isn't too far off now!
Let's see --- there is a cover story in PTOM coming very soon with new screens, and then we're doing a couple events soon and assets should be out soon too.
Also a couple other things in the works that should be cool too

You guys do realize the cover is really a "Dramatic Nathan Hale", right? That pic was taken right after he turned around and THAT is why his expression is kina like "What!!!!":lol

:lol :lol Good one! It's nice of you guys to be doing that, putting covers online for d/load to enjoy whichever one suits players. I'll admit, I like the CE cover more than the regular one but no big deal. Like others have said, it's not like I'm going to hang the covers on the wall or whatnot! I'm more interested in how the game turns outjstevenson said:and in that case, they can download the high-res of the cover they like (out of several choices), get a nice printer to print it out

I have a question though, which type of paper do you guys recommend to use if I were to download one of those different covers? Not bad at all! I don't know about other people, but I thought COD 4 looks amazing. That quality of graphics with the Resistance art style and nice lighting? That sounds sweet to me...
jstevenson said:and in that case, they can download the high-res of the cover they like (out of several choices), get a nice printer to print it out
I'm not picky about my covers at all, I'm fine with anything, but I have to say that allowing people to download hi-res covers to print is very cool, and I just might do that!

Hey jstevenson, or anyone else that knows it, is the Beta sign up page for the US only?
I ask this cause there's a "en-us" on the url and "en-uk" or "en-gb" don't work.
If not, is there anyway for an European to apply?

I think those are localization tags in general for MyRes.
However --- this signup is probably only going to work for SCEA. SCEE is announcing its own plans in each country as they vary from country to country. I don't have anymore details than that, though.
You can sign-up on that page, it can't hurt, at least.

I also agree with others that Insomniac is going way beyond the "call of duty" (ha!) by providing alternate cover artwork in hi-res - thanks!
Having said, I did two things today that I haven't done in a very long time, and one of those things I've never done:
1. I pre-ordered Resistance 2
2. I'm getting the LE
I caved! The pre-order isn't so bad (only put the minimum down - $10), but paying for the LE is nuts. $79.99 is a lot for a game, even though there are extra bits!
BTW, my EB didn't have the beta info stuff for the public beta. They did tell me that they would call when they get them in. ::shrugs::

Agreed that's sweet, but when/where ?
jstevenson,
Also will it be possible to get hi-res pictures of the CE cover without the logo's etc on, this is what I want to do, I'll give you an example below,
I want to split the cover of the CE art into two pictures likes so as a pair,
And then either mount them behind glass with the large white boarder as above or get them printed onto canvas (Giclée) and have it framed, but as you can see having the logo's left on the art work will ruin the second picture so if possible please could we/I have access to the original art work.
